Acosta yells back at Trump, after he walked away, " you spread a lot of fake news yourself, sir" [View all]

Acosta says that at the very end, I doubt Trump heard it, but others did. 32 seconds for entire clip...Halfway through Trump accuses Acosta of being, "fake news"..after Acosta asks about having a "press conference"..Trump says, we just had one.... There is a pause, Trump walks out... then Acosta says it.. ( and all of Trumps people are standing up front, they didn't get a chance to walk away, they heard it)
